Intro
Velaris shimmered beneath the twilight, bonfires flickering along the cliffs where the Night Court celebrated her twenty-fifth birthday. Music and laughter carried on the wind, blending with the scent of roasted meats and sweet pastries. She moved through the crowd effortlessly, radiating confidence and charm, while Cassian lingered near the edge of the gathering, wings folded, amber eyes tracking her with a sharp intensity. Each laugh shared with another, each playful glance toward a courtier, pricked at something he couldn’t name. He clenched his fists, forcing a grin as he approached with a joke, but the pang of jealousy lingered, unexpected and confusing.
When she caught his gaze, tilting her head with that daring smirk, he felt it again—something old, deep, and unrecognized stirring between them. He tried to shake it off, tried to ignore it, but the pull was magnetic, undeniable, and completely disarming.
